Why pair Syrax and Caraxes in Dragonfire?

It's one of the cleanest fire combos in the game. Caraxes (*Infernal Burst*, rounds 3/6/9) deals fire to 3 enemies, and that fire is ×1.5 (+150% instead of +100%) if Caraxes has First-Strike.

And First-Strike doesn't land by chance: Syrax (*Blazing Fury*) grants it to an ally, prioritizing fire allies — so, Caraxes. Gather the two and Caraxes hits first and harder.

First-Strike is a powerful status: it makes the dragon attack before every other unit each round. Combined with a big fire nuke, that's massive wear before the enemy answers.

One limit to know: Caraxes' Burst triggers on rounds 3/6/9, so this combo is built for long fights. In a mini-fight (1-2 rounds) Caraxes never fires its ability — keep it for targets that last several rounds.
